Set in in 125 acres of parkland, housed in a magnificent mansion near Wokingham and conveniently located for Reading and London. Our unique approach to learning empowers every child to fulfil their potential and offers the best academic foundation alongside varied sporting and performing art opportunities. I joined this wonderful school in Sept 2021, bringing with me 18 years of experience in education, 11 of those in leadership, I believe in doing things differently, seeking new opportunities, and finding alternative ways to do something. That is why I have joined Reddam House; it is unique, positive, different and vibrant.
